Imagine Approachimate
- Youre walking down a crowded street when you get
an alert from your phonesomeone who knows your
friend John is passing by you right now! - He has his phone out too and is looking your way,
and you approach each other and strike up a
conversation.

Imagine Playdar
- Youre riding the subway. Its dinner time, and
youre getting hungry but dont want to eat
alone. - You have your phone do a scan of the local
areait finds a friend of a friend who likes the
same music as you, only a couple stops away. - You give him a quick call, and decide to meet up
at a nearby restaurant to have a bite and talk
about the new album youre both listening to.
5
What about chat?
- Lots of shared space interfaces and presence
ideas try to bridge the gap by giving an illusion
of proximity - Is trying to convey spatial proximity the wrong
idea to make people friendly?
6
My idea
- With this platform
- Dont try to close the spatial gap
- Make the whole space a friendlier place
- Convey distance and physical location
informationit helps bring people together
physically!

Implications?
- Instead of a confined, artificial space, users
work in the real world and are conscious of real
space - Increased awareness of and increased richness of
real-world environment
20
Implications?
- Increased person-to-person gravity
- More likely to transition from online to IRL
interaction if you know its easy! If theyre
right next to you... - In the context of a social network
- Increased consciousness of F-o-Fs
- Encourages relationship-building
- Can provide immediate physical meeting
opportunity AND immediate icebreakers
